XBOX Live Games (Max Players)

mehuk · 26 Jul 2007 at 11:48

So on all games i've tried on live its a MAX of 8 players....

Now with Halo 3 (i was too late for BETA) and GTA IV coming up, with potential LIVE features, am I correct in stating that they will also be capped with a max of 8 players online?

If so... then.... meh

not happy

Live games tend to average 16 players.
I don't know how many Halo 3 will be, i think it will be 32 as i think Halo uses dedicated servers.

Halo 3 will have 16. Battlefield has 24, Vegas has 16, GRAW 16 - theres plenty that have 16.

a lot of games don't have dedicated servers also so if you go above 5/6 people your game will just lag out

with the money we pay for xbox live you would have thought more games would have dedicated serves :mad:

Cool, thanks for the replies

Gives me some hope then, 8v8 is much more fun

I tend to play with UK/EU players and cant remember the last time a game was unplayable with lag if I'm being totally honest.

AFAIK, Bungie's dedicated servers are for stats gathering and file sharing, not game hosting.

Halo 3 will work the same way as Halo2. P2P.

Complete and utter Bull****. I regularly play with 12-16 players and apart from bomberman (where every game has 2 laggy players, ruins the game

) I can't remember the last laggy game I've had.

What 12-16 player games are you playing that aren't lagging? Either that or mass drops.

Its very very rare that I've found a room of GRAW to hold 12 players in sharpshooter. I'd say 1 in every 40 or 50 games. Even with Ceegs 1.3 mb upload we hit problems over 10 players.

CoD3 mostly, and a bit of Halo 2 (I know I know) and forza 2 (or is forza only 10 players?)

GRAW was pants for large games

I regularly played Vegas matches with 12+ people with zero lag.

I also play vegas with double figures and generally don't get any lag.
